This three-day course provides students with the knowledge required to operate Junos Space Appliance and manage devices with Junos Space. Students will learn how to install Junos Space into a multimode Space Fabric, as well as learn how to administer and monitor the Fabric. The course also explores centralized Junos device management options offered by the Junos Space Network Management Platform, including configuration backup, synchronization, Junos image distribution, and application of templates. Students will also learn how to automate Junos Space management functions using Ansible.
This course is based on Junos Space Release 22.3R1.2, Security Director Release 22.3R1.2, Network Director Release 6.3R1.23, and Junos Release 23.1.R1.8. The course materials are updated to include the current 2023 icons and present the current best practices. This update includes a new lab part that covers creating and applying CLI Configlets.
